\title{
Minimum Finding
}
\description{
Find minimum of single-variable function on fixed interval.
}
\usage{
fminbnd(f, x1, x2, ..., minimize = TRUE, tol = .Machine$double.eps^(2/3))
}
\arguments{
\item{f}{function whose minimum or maximum is to be found.}
\item{x1, x2}{endpoints of the interval to be searched.}
\item{minimize}{logical; shall a minimum or a maximum be found.}
\item{tol}{relative tolerance.}
\item{...}{additional variables to be passed to the function..}
}
\details{
fminbnd finds the minimum of a function of one variable within a fixed
interval. The Matlab versionis based on golden section search and
parabolic interpolation.
\code{fminbnd} may only give local solutions.
\code{fminbnd} never evaluates fun at the endpoints.
}
\value{
List with
\item{x}{location of the location of minimum resp. maximum.}
\item{fval}{function value at the optimum.}
}

\note{
\code{fminbnd} mimics the Matlab function of the same name and uses the
R function \code{optimize}.
Could easily be replaced by \code{pracma::fibsearch}.
